RE: Well Done Splashdown
Thanks all of you, it is really appreciated.
In answer to simonk, I an assure you that I am eligible for the event, even tough I've won the Manx and the TT.
The rules were changed about 5 years ago.
I really am not bothered about doing any damage to my reputation (!)
I am just happy to be able to race round the most fabulous circuit ever created, maybe help the Newcomers a little, and encourage up and coming riders. If my presence on the course helps then fair enough. If I am in the way, I would stop immediately. I only ever want to be competitive.
My position as an Ambassador to the Manx Grand Prix is important to me, it is an event I have held close to my heart since the 1950s.

I am sure that there need to be further updates, and changes to the event, and discussions will no doubt commence very quickly.
Now is not the time for me to make any comment. 
However, I would like to offer my congratulations to other riders for their successes, commiserations to those who weren't so lucky, sympathies to the injured, condolences to the families of those who are not returning home, (there were two road fatalities in addition to the competitor), and thanks to everyone involved in the running of the Manx, particularly the Marshals.
It is still the most amazing event, something that needs to be nurtured not destroyed.
